Mozilla Firefox recently received a long-anticipated feature: vertical tabs. It arrived in March 2025 as part of the Firefox 136 update. Now, Mozilla is introducing another welcome improvement to tab management in its browser, making it easier for users to pin and unpin tabs in Firefox.

With the latest Firefox Nightly update, Mozilla implemented a new way to pin or unpin tabs: you can simply drag the current page to another pinned tab to pin or drag it out to unpin it. As simple as that. The new logic works with both vertical and horizontal tab views, and it eliminates the need to use context menus. The only prerequisite is that you need to have at least one pinned tab for the dragging to work. Otherwise, you will simply move the tab across the strip.

It is nice to see Firefox implementing this small convenience for customers. However, some argue that there is still room for improvement. Dragging tabs is cool, but a dedicated shortcut could be an even better and quicker way to pin or unpin your tabs. That said, other mainstream browsers lack this feature as well.
 
Firefox 140.0 official release tomorrow...
Highlights of Firefox 140 include a new Unload Tab feature that lets you unload tabs by right-clicking on a tab (or multiple selected tabs) to reduce Firefox’s memory and CPU usage, support for adding custom search engines in Search settings, and support for keeping more or fewer pinned vertical tabs in view.

For Android users, Firefox 140 adds a “Select All” option for bookmarks. Of course, as you have noticed, Firefox 140 is an ESR (Extended Support Release) version, which means that it will be supported for the next couple of years with security fixes through regular point releases.
